Interim Global Head of Marketing (Hiring Immediately)

Interim Head of Marketing (12 month FTC)

We’re looking for an experienced Global Head of Marketing to join on an initial 12-month maternity cover, leading our global marketing function.

Marketing plays a central role in how we build our brand, differentiate in key markets, and drive commercial performance. This role will ensure we maintain momentum, deliver against strategic priorities, and continue to operate as a high-performing, globally aligned function.

You’ll step into an established model and be expected to provide clear direction, prioritisation, and oversight across a complex, multi-channel environment, while remaining closely connected to execution and delivery.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will operate as a player-coach: setting direction while actively shaping campaigns, guiding output, and staying close to performance and delivery across the team. This is not a purely strategic or advisory position.

There is potential for this role to extend beyond the initial 12-month period, depending on business needs and performance.

Working environment

This is a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where clarity, pace, and quality of execution matter. The role requires someone comfortable operating with autonomy, making decisions, and leading through complexity.

We are a lean, high-performing team, so this role suits someone who enjoys being in the detail and actively driving work forward, not just directing from a distance. You’ll need to move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on execution on a daily basis.
